Sorry but this is a load of bullshit and insulting to people who have been caught up in this stuff like Ross. The cypherpunks would have used encryption regardless but they purposely brought the fight to the government so schmucks like me and you could get a modicum of privacy without having to be political dissidents.

Yeah government picks one high profile case and makes a stink hiping to scare the 10,000 others who are doing the same things on a smaller scale. It doesn’t work though. The government can investigate/prosecute/jail maybe 1 in 10,000 cases of tax evasion. Most small businesses commit tax fraud whenever they get a cash sale and there are β‰ˆ35,000,000 of those on a given day. There are millions of people who sell stuff without paying taxes daily. Drug dealers are in the millions too. Almost none of it gets discovered let alone prosecuted because there aren’t even close to enough investigators/police/courts/jail cells. The Ross thing was the 1:10,000. You sound like a scared man who needs the governments permission. Just buy some ibit and chill πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
